Hello,
As you were diagnosed with T6 vertebrae fracture, it all depends upon the type of fracture and the symptoms associated with it. Usually, it a waiting period always to look for any clinical signs or symptoms.
If nothing emerges out that means the fracture is not severe and we can wait for it to heal. But then as I mentioned above, it's totally based on the clinical signs and symptoms where the doctor will take up the call.
You need to stay calm and take rest for the fractured bone to heal, as from the history it looks that there are no new signs and symptoms so we have to treat it conservatively.
In case if you have pain, then the doctor will advise for some Pain killers and also you need to slowly start doing some breathing exercises so the pulmonary system doesn't get a compromise with it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
